Remap or Chip

[puggy]

just need to find a way to woop doggy's ass now that he's done his

The most cost effective performance mod for these cars is to sell the car and get a V6 off ebay

PAH !!! just remember road racing is a contact sport

Puggy if you dont mind me asking, did you get a generic or custom remap and do you find the car to be as quick as the 2.2 hdi?

[puggy]

Generic one , dont know about 2.2 not been in one so dont know how they
compare but would imagine a re mapped 2.2 to be quicker , perhaps doggy
can answer that if he has been in both ? just know its a lot better than it was
before the re map ...

[FarmerPug]

whats your 0-60 at now do you know?, what about insurance?

[puggy]

dont know about 0 - 60 but will find out when i get hold of my mate ,
insurance wise it's not visible is it , enough said

[FarmerPug]

According to Autotrader's tech data:

110 Estate, (std): 109 BHP 188 lb/ft max 116 mph 0-60 12.8 sec Remapped 140 BHP 225 lb/ft - peformance?
2.2 Estate, (std): 136 BHP 235 lb/ft max 125 mph 0-60 10.5 sec Remapped 180 BHP 300 lb/ft

Don't honestly know how the two cars would compare, but I imagine there would be little to choose between a standard 2.2 and a remapped 110. If so, this is a remarkable achievement as the 2.2 not only has more capacity, but also 16 valves, variable geometry turbo, variable induction / swirl chamber etc. As standard the 2.2 is hampered by the diesel particle filter, (the infamous FAP), but my car is now reconfigured to work without it. As puggy says, there is no mistaking the difference after a remap.

[FarmerPug]

forgot to ask what mileages have your cars been remapped at, mines at 95k

[Doggy]

MIne's at 138k

[puggy]

95k That's more or less what mine was done at , you are due a cambelt unless
you have already done it ...

[FarmerPug]

cambelt, is that the same as the timing belt which was done at 79k

[puggy]

yes that the one , no need to worry about that for a long time

Hi I'am new to the club and would like to ask some Q's about the power outputs of the 2.0 110 hdi engine,
I have had a 2000w 110 hdi for 7 years and have always found it to have good performance and economy,would cruise all day at 95, return 45 mpg, its done 162k now and now looking to change to an 03 plate 110s, but my question is the 03 car and others I have tested do not seem to have the the get up and go the old car, do you think the old car had been chipped/remapped or were the engines in the earlier cars different spec? CAN YOU HELP any info much appreciated

[Doggy]

There are some marginal difference between early & late HD1 110's, but these are unlikely to make a noticeable difference. Owners do report big differences from car to car, you may just have a 'good one'. A few guys on here have remapped 110's but they don't seem to be common.

Nowadays it's generally possible to get them remapped very cheaply.

Or you could get a 2.2 HDi......
